Are we becoming a police state under #Covid19 lockdown? People getting tickets for not social distancing. People arrested for "illegal gatherings." Govts setting up "Snitch lines." Sounds like the Soviet Union. Guest John Carpay @JCCFCanada https://sauga960am.ca/podcasts/ scroll to media nation and date May 20

A short while ago, police were handing out tickets with enormous fines to those who violated lockdown orders and encroached on social distancing regulations.

This double standard is a dangerous rejection of the rule of law. We also discuss freedom of the press after Rebel Media reporter Keean Bexte gets tossed from a Trudeau press conference.

John reports on a conference call he participated in with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Chief Medical Officer Deena Hinshaw, along with faith leaders from around the province.

Justice Centre lawyer Marty Moore has co-written two papers on the issue of conversion therapy bans. In this show he talks about the City of Calgary’s proposed ban and how this particular bylaw marks a distinct shift from what other cities have passed: it’s vague, it’s broad and it violates Constitutional rights.
